2026 Grace & Truth Conference
Music and Worship Workshops

Dear Grace and Truth Conference attendees,

We are excited to inform you about 2 breakout sessions we are offering this year during our conference. Please RSVP if you are interested.

Both of these sessions will be taught by Jeremy Sauskojus who has served for over 25 years as the music-worship pastor at Grace Bible Church in Bozeman, Montana.

Breakout Session: Shepherding the flock through music-worship to be salt and light in the midst of suffering.

Pain, suffering, and hardship are part of the reality of living in a dark world that is impacted by sin.

Even in such settings, we are called to be God’s ambassadors by being salt and light. As under-shepherds, we can encourage and equip the flock through music-worship to navigate such scenarios for the Lord’s glory.

When? Thursday 5-6:00pm (during dinner)

Pre-conference attendees please RSVP by contacting the church office by phone (406-761-0464) or email (info@emmanuelbible.org)

Breakout Session: Music-Worship as a Means of Being and Equipping the Saints to be Salt and Light

Whether you sing, play an instrument, select music, or serve on the tech ministry team, music used in the corporate worship gathering can be used to encourage the local church fellowship to be salt and light. Along these lines, a Biblical Theology of Music can help each local church fellowship by encouraging the flock to be salt and light.

Who is this for? Open to anyone interested or part of music ministry in the local church (sound and tech included)

When? Saturday 12-1pm (during lunch)

Main conference attendees please RSVP HERE.

Jeremy is a native Montanan and has lived his entire life under the Big Sky. After graduating from high school, he moved to Bozeman to sing at Montana State University. In his 25+ years at Grace, Jeremy has served as an associate pastor with an emphasis in music-worship, discipleship, and pre-marital counseling. In addition to an undergraduate degree from Montana State (BA), his master and doctorate degrees were earned at Liberty University (MAR & DWS).

Jeremy has enjoyed training and ministering to pastors/workers in Ethiopia, Russia, Tanzania, Turkey, and the U.S. He enjoys capturing God’s creation through photography. The Lord’s faithfulness is demonstrated through 25+ years of marriage to Lori, their two adult children (& their spouses), and a grandchild.

“I will sing of Your strength; I will sing aloud of Your steadfast love in the morning. For You have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress” (Ps. 59:16)
